LOUISIANA.

Here in Louisiana we have thou
sands of acres of fertile soil which can
be purchased at nominal price
lands which will produce everything
grown in temperate or semitropical
climate. Droughts are OF rare occur
rences-devouring insects, SO common
in the West, are unknown. Railroad
facilities are good and more roads are
certain to be built in the near future,
with good navigable rivers throughout
the State. The finest timber in the
world in almost inexhaustible qusn-
titles. Pure water in abundance. The
finest fruit region--for all kinds of
fruits-in the whole country. A fine
stock country. a mild, genial climate
where the farmer can work out doors
all the year. For the purpose OF
agriculture, manufactures and com-
merce, Louisiana is in every way
superior to any of the Western States
aud Territories. In oil aspects OF the
case it presents superior inducements
to the homo seeker. There is but one
thing wanted in Louisana--develop-
ment. Give us the capital and energy
that are seeking investment in the
West, and that are producing such
marvellous results, and we shall soon
SEQ Louisiana one of the richest and
most powerful States in the Union
Ieche Pilot.

fitted to the top of the steps, which he
at length is allowed to reach. A num-
Der of brethren surround him waving
large fans, and voice eXclaims: 1--WE
are now fifteen hundred feet above the
sea. Throw yourself into space
While the unfortunate victim hest
tates he is pushed from behind, and
falls distance of about six feet on To a
mattress.
Meanwhile, noises, such as thunder,
hail, wind, ETC., are produced by ma
chimes, with which the lodge is provi.
ded for the purpose; and the din is
increased by frightful shrieking, howl
ing and crying on all sides. Finally
the disheveled and perspiring candi-
date is dragged to tue West Point,
where he receives Il strong shock from
a galvanic battery, willie at the same
time one Of the brethren Strikes him
violently on the chest with his mall
let. After being questioned AS to his
readiness to shed his blood in defensr
OF the order, his arm is pricked with u
lancet, few drops of tcpid water fro,n
a narrow-necked bottle fail on 10 the
patients flesh, and the remainder is
lude him INTO the belief that his bl ,ud
is flowing. The arm is then bound up
in sling. The president then asks
him on which part of his body he pre-.
fers to be branded with the hierosly-
phical seal of the lodge. The Masonic
seal trick is done in different Ways.
The ritual Of the Grand Orient Of
France says that one of the brethren
is TO rub with Il dry rag the part in
dicated of the postulant's body and
then quickly apply piece of ice. But
the usual way is to put the warm end
OF just extinguished wax candle or OF
slightly heated wine glass on the
spot. Each ono of these methods gives
the candidate the impression of having
been branded with IL hot iron. The
mask is then removed from the pos.u-
lant's face, and the president salutes
him with the triple iraternal kiss, first
on the right cheek, then on the LEFT,
and lastly on the mouth. After this
the candidate is invested with his
apron and pair of gloves.

MEN WHO MAKE AND UNMAKE TOWNS

The Selma (Alabama) Times say s
"Every growing and ambitious city is
composed of three elements, viz
Those who work periodically, Wig
orously and intelligently for its adj
vanccment those who are in n state
of apathy or Indifference, and those
who take u curious delight in discour-
aging the efforts by rediculc, by a
persistent denial that any progress can
or has been accomplished, and by
Boosting of every other city except
their own. The last class are called
croakers; but they are really some.
thing worse, for their opposition does
not arise simply from dependency,
but from tina: unenviable spirit which
will neither act itself nor suffer others

of breaking up psrsdes by charges o.!
mounted men, and substituted the policy
of mastery inactivity, which has, on the
whole, succeeded better. He is so gen
orally discredited among his party that
he will probsbly have to go. Lord John
Manners, who is in bad health, will also
have to resign. II is thought that if Hsrt-

So
A herd of fifteen thoroughbred Gallo
way cattle will be brought TO the city il 8
few days by Messrs. Powell. They are
fine cattle and scclimated to Texas, hay
ing been here two years.
Mr.. Gray, q Midland stockman, was in
the city Yesterday, and purchased Ave
head Of Durham bulls, which he will take
to his Midland county ranch for breeding
purposes. Powell Bros. supplied the
stock.
There passed through the Union Stock
yards yesterday Ave cars Of cattle from
NJ. o. Townsend Of Zephyr, Tex to Lit
tie Rock, Ark; ten cars from M. Hxlf &
Bros, Toyah, TO Chlcsgo, and two double
deck cars of sheep from 81. n. Garth,
Marienfeldt, to Chicago.
1t was but fortnight ego that q spe-
ctal appeared in The GAZETTE from SaR
Antonio setting forth the appearance of 8
new line OF trade in that section in the
way Oh Texas colts, which it was found
when taken north and reared, grew 10 q
much larger stature and greater strength
than when raised in Texas. Already has
the trade in these colts assumed diamen-
sions OF importance. A Fort Worth
firm has lately received orders
for 100 head of them. They are to
be of last springs foaling. The same gen.
tleman who is buying these bought some
few years ago and did we'll on them.
He lets the colts run with his own herds,
aud does nothing more with them THAI d
Texas horse raiser would, and still they
attain larger, stronger, heavier limbs than
IN Texas. A West Texas paper recently
remarked in this conDec ion thst the Ell, CT
oi the removal of the colts could be seen
when they were taken no further north
than the Indian Territory.
~
Speaking to q cattle dealer OF Fort
Worth last night, a reporter was in
formed that the number of graded cattle
being brought into Texas now exceeds
anything ever before known. The people
all over The state, ell through the west,
are buying thoroughbred breeders and
grading up their csttle, There is no
part of the state where there is not some
enterprising stockman who Is importing
fine stock to greater or less extent. The
Durham cattle are coming into favor
sgsin with these men. Herefords and
polled icattlelhsVe for long time been
more favored by buyers, but now, men
who few years sgo would have
nothing but HerefOrds are buying
Durhsms. The Durhams, said the
informant, are, to make safe statement,
as good ss the Herefords for crossing
with Texas cattle. A crest objection 10
them has always been that they could not
rustic Is well as the Herefords, but that
idea was being rooted out. The following
season will see great many PURCHASES OF
graded bulls. Many stockmen who gen.
orally buy right along each season have
not been getting any for Q couple Of years,
so it may DE expected that, notwithstand-
ing tn; depression in the cattle markets,
there will be considerable buying OF
breeding bulls the following season.
